These remarkable human beings defended Christianity against much spiritual skepticism following both World Wars. In their footsteps lies J.K. Rowling, who has created the fantasy world of Hogwarts, similar in beliefs to Tolken’s Middle Earth and Lewis’ Narnia, where we can explore true reality.

It is amazing to see how on limited resources new plants can grow roots in some unlikely places like St. Catherine of Siena in South Reno, Nevada. One of the common comments as to why new Church planters say they have endeavored to plant Churches is "to show others it can be done".  Faith and the willingness to step out of comfort zones then would seem to be key ingrediants to personal and Church growth. What do you think the key ingrediants to Church growth are? Read more about St. Catherine of Siena in South Reno, Nevada.  (click here)
